The article "On Language," by Ben Zimmer depicts today's society in a very truthiness way. With the increase in popularity of social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter, many people are now posting and typing updates of their daily lives on these blog sites for the world to see; sometimes, people tend to make up or have their own style (perhaps in a jokingly manner) for the words that are used in our vocabulary everyday. When millions of people are online posting status updates and have their own characteristics when it comes to typing, certain strange words may become catchy and start a trend.

Much like Stephen Colbert coming up with the word "truthiness," everyone is constantly coming up with their own terms and phrases that might not actually be words from the dictionary. Every year, new words may become more and more popular in the public and it could end up becoming approved by famous published documents. As people and technology continues to evolve, so does all the languages worldwide.
